For the minimal mileage I do, I'm quite happy to have terrible handling. I live quite central in the country so no show is more than 2 hours from me. So I'm all good.
But without this thread, I wouldn't have know that the uprated sway bars don't sit any lower, and that polybushing would have little affect because on my other car it was completely opposite
I don't see why a car needs to handle well to travel at 30-50mph in a manageable fashion and at 70mph in a straight line for motorway use. This car will never go on track. And it will spend most it's time parked under a tree outside my house, where I will go out and take things apart for a laugh on it.
We all use our cars for different things and as I said I have a pretty nippy run about. This is just a @*!#'s and giggles toy, and the suspension is only the first thing I'm going to ruin
But coilovers and arbs seems a good shout to begin with, and bushes as and when if it isn't stiff enough, I'll look into bushing kits tho as I will also be changing the camber arms etc and if it seems like I'm changing everything that would be bushed, I'd be silly to not just bush it.
